I was looking at the gt3076 kit at gcg for $2990 but not sure if it's worth the extra $1000

Brand new genuine Garrett GT3076R

with the exchange rate it would be less than the GCG highflow even with postage. You can run the wastegate directly off the exhaust housing and plumb it back into your dump. It will easy make 300kw at 20 psi but you will need a wastegate, injectors, z32afm and a nistune. Stock manifolds will be fine although you may need a 10mm spacer for the turbo.

And just as an aside - our local turbo guru prefers bush bearings! -Says they are more reliable and much cheaper to rebuild.

It is looking like a good option, will it be big enough for 400hp?

Hell no. PM sent. You want 400hp, take note below.

I've had stock turbo, high flow, HKS 2530, and now Garrett 3076 ... and I say don't mess about and do straight to the 3076.

The 2530 will run out of breath. Always found myself wanting to grab the next gear, before anywhere near the redline, because the turbo was running out of breath. My 3076 just keeps pulling and pulling thru the revs. You WILL NOT be disappointed with the 3076. 2530 will not get you big HP, the 3076 will. Invest your money in a new 3076, rather than second hand (unknown condition) 2530.

There are a fair few Z32 AFMs getting around now on SAU and Ebay for the $100 mark. And I also picked up a new set of 555cc injectors for Neo motor for under $600 ... I can give you the details of the bloke who got them for me. Together with a Nistune (or other aftermarket ecu) you can chase big power (depending on your exhaust and other mods of course). So all up $2700 got me 252rwkw, or 338hp at the wheels ... thats like $8 per hp.

My tuner finished off my tune on thursday actually, and I'm getting 252.6rwkw @ 16psi. Tuner wanted to go to 18psi as he reckoned 280rwkw was easily attainable with a bit more time ... thats 375rwhp, so not far from your target power!

I'm told my 3076 can go to and hold 22psi ... thats around the 320rwkw mark ... thats 428rwhp in the old language.

Get a new (under warranty) 3076. Enuff said :P

Ok so after reading stuff I've got a list sorted out, rough prices if I find them cheaper that's even better, gt3076 $2950, z32 $300, nistune $800, sard injectors $???. I've already got a k&n panel filter ( it sucks the xmas tree clips and bonnet lining in so I might need a pod ) , hks 3" high power cat back/+ custom drift pipes if I want, jjr stealth front mount. Anything else I will need?

What's with the VW? Is that the alternative?!!

What do you get from GCG for $2990?

The GT3076R from the link above (NZ Performance ) works out at AU$1662.00 at the current exchange rate so even with postage and tax (if any) I would think there would be a decent saving.

If for some reason you must have an Australian supplier try sending this guy an email before you fork out $3K:

sorry i added the wrong image code, thats my wifes car, was supposed to be the turbo still together lol. but anyway, i did consider that gt3076 from nz but its an extermal gated turbo and i cant really afford to shell out for a new manifold/dump pipe

my dad is pushing me toward sthe gt3076 kit form gcg, and it looks like the easiest option aprt from getting my turbo turned into a 30/76 at mtq

my only problem really with the gcg setup is i need to buy a new dump pipe as its a 5 bolt rear not a 6 bolt.

GCG should be supplying one in that price. You do not want to compromise with a non-garrett turbine housing if you want to get the best results.

ive got a bellmouth dump so i cant use the dump that comes with it without buying/making a new pipe.

zebra - when you spin a ball bearing turbo backward they seize. ive seen it happen twice.

cre8tor - the beetle is quicker then my stagea :/

It is looking like a good option, will it be big enough for 400hp?

my mate had a forged 33 running the same turbo with all the supporting mods

280rwkw on about 17psi i think

so i'd guess so cos thats 375hp

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
